quasars, comets, and other galaxies. Filled with exciting projects
and observing activities, this action-packed guide gives kids a
chance to investigate the outer reaches of the universe while they
have a great time building their own rockets, creating pepper
planets, demonstrating the greenhouse effect, and much, much more.
